The cult-classic Star Trek parody Galaxy Quest is celebrating its 25th anniversary by releasing on 4K Blu-ray. Preorders for the Limited Edition Steelbook and standard 4K release are live now at Amazon, but you’ll want to opt for the snazzy steelbook, as the retailer is offering a discount that drops the price to $24.49 (was $31). The standard 4K Blu-ray edition sans steelbook case is also $24.49, so unless you have something against steelbooks, snag the Limited Edition ahead of Galaxy Quest’s December 3 release.

If you didn’t see Galaxy Quest when it first came out, then you missed out on one of the best–and funniest–sci-fi films of all time. At once a homage to and satirization of Star Trek, the movie follows an ensemble cast of the fictional television show, “Galaxy Quest,” who find themselves beamed aboard a real spaceship piloted by aliens who assume the characters they play on TV are real people.
